Question

I'm taking ivermectin for a mild scabies issue and I'm supposed to take the medication on Wednesday. But I'm also planning to drink quite a bit of alcohol on Saturday. Do you think the alcohol will affect anything with my treatment?

Ivermectin is usually well-tolerated, but consuming alcohol while taking it may increase the risk of certain side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and headache. It is generally recommended to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on ivermectin treatment. If you do choose to drink alcohol, it is best to do so in moderation.

Question

I'm really confused about a treatment suggestion I got. My husband's doctor recommended Propysalic nf6 ointment for his hair loss on his chin, and for me, he recommended a different ointment that starts with an "O" and has a green color. Can anyone help me figure out what that might be? I'm worried and just want to make sure I'm using the right thing.

Question

I'm curious about the combination of using Zydip lotion with coconut oil for hair growth and Nintop lotion in the morning. Is it safe to use them together, and do you think it might actually help with hair growth? I've also heard mixed things, so I'm kind of worried. What should I expect, and are there any side effects I should watch out for?
